Doug Hoverson Book Signing & Beer Sampling at The Four Firkins

By on March 1, 2009in beer events, beer stores, history

Here’s a great excuse to pick up a wonderful book detailing Minnesota beer history and shop in a damn fine beer store. Head on over to The Four Firkins on Monday, March 2nd to meet author Doug Hoverson, get your book signed and try some beer. Sounds like a winning combination to me!

Come and meet Doug Hoverson, author of “Land of Amber Waters”. He will be at The Firkins to shoot the breeze with us and sample a few beers this coming Monday from 6:00pm.

Haven’t read the book yet? It’s only the entire brewing history of Minnesota! We’ll have copies for sale and Doug will even sign them for you. Here’s a link to the books website.
